Notes: This suggested modification to LR 7067-1 incorporates General Order 13-01, an order that deals with our transition to CRIS, a new AO organized registry account within the US Treasury. It also requires parties to submit form AO 213, allowing us to collect taxpayer identification information for disbursing funds. Finally, it allows for a time period to elapse before we release funds, which is important in that our office would otherwise need to seek reimbursement from a payee if a judgement was later reversed on appeal.
